What breed of dog is a (tall) Dalmatian?
Category: Dalmation Questions
I’ve always been interested in very tall Dalmatians, but noticed that pure Dalmatians are usually smaller dogs. What breed or mix of dog would be a considered a taller Dalmatian?
Dalmatians are a tall breed and a Harlequin Great Dane is as close as you can get to a large Dalmatian..
Link with pic of Harlequin Great Dane below.
Harlequin Great Danes are often mistaken for tall Dalmatians.
Otherwise, you can buy a dog from a responsible breeder; ask for the larger dogs of the litter – ones outside of the show standard. Or, you can rescue an adult dog that fits what you want. http://www.dalmatianrescue.com/
Dalmations are not small dogs.A cane corso or a great dane that is white with black spots may be what you are talking about.
I say harlequin great dane as well.
They are also the biggest great dane’s.
Gorgeous dogs.
It might be a harlequin great dane. Otherwise it is just a backyard bred dalmation.
You may be thinking of a Harlequin Great Dane.

they are beautiful dogs.
A Dalmation is a Dalmation. What breed or mix of dog would be considered a taller Dalmation? That makes NO sense.
Pure Bred Dalmatians are a medium size breed but they also vary in size from country to country, just a bit. The standards are very similar but Dalmatians in the USA are are generaly smaller then Dalmatians in say Australia or Europe. The males in USA are around the size of Females in Australia or Europe. It also depends on the breeder & their dogs pedigree.
might be a dalmation mix or Harlequin Great Danes they are a tall dalmation
